that enabled him to have his strike
breakers warned when the arrests
were pending. The strikebreaker
would dart into the restaurant, the
Union picket who was absolutely not
responsible forgone iota of the excite

wagon. And ftie accommodating
patrol wagons made a neat and thor

me, no! They aren't "news." Capi
tal is insulting labor!

there was only one entry."
"How in the world was that?" ask
ed a friend. "Wasn't it a horserace?"
"No," answered the sporting gent;
"it was a cremation!"

Paint can be removed from silk or
woolen goods by soaking the spot in
spirits of turpentine and letting it
stand for some hours. Then rub the
